Francesco Friedrich (GER, 2013 and 2015 World Champion, 2015 European Champion)“I only had three weeks after my injury to get back into form. This was the hardest and most tiring race so far after a season of ups and downs. A big thank you to everyone who made this possible.”

Johannes Lochner (GER, silver in 2015 World Championships, 2016 Junior World Champion)“At the moment we’re just happy to have won silver. But we could have done better, we proved that in the first runs. Unfortunately we made the error in the final run when the sled swerved.”

Beat Hefti (SUI, silver at 2014 Olympics, silver at 2013 World Championships, European Champion in 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2016)“The season hasn’t been easy for us. I’m happy that we managed to fight our way back to the top, with gold last week in the European Championships and now the World Championship medal.”
